This talk is a guided meditation that is part of the commentary on Dogen's fascicle "Shobogenzo Zenki – Undivided Activity." Instead of continuing with the line-by-line commentary, it takes a step back and points to the mind, from which we need to listen to Dogen's writing if we don't want to get lost in its apparent contradictoriness and complications. The talk attempts to get everyone on a similar experiential page and to demonstrate that all of us are undivided from the mind of awakening. The meditation guides you through widening attentional spheres: from posture and breath to the sense fields, to the felt body, to the mind as an attentional field in which all contents appear, and finally to an understanding of our life as this here-now present.
